Co-owner Christopher Badham said: “Devon is in our DNA and we’re committed to ensuring Ginger Peanut not only offers our guests a memorable place to eat, drink and sleep, but also enriches the local community.

“Our overnight guests are free to enjoy breakfast here or elsewhere in Bampton, to dine with us or not, but everyone can enjoy tea, coffee and treats in the guest pantry, something we’ve found to be popular at Huntsham Court.

“In addition to our relationships with Devon and Somerset farmers and suppliers, some of whom already work with Huntsham Court, we’re fostering young talent by partnering with local colleges to help train those with culinary ambitions.”

Restoring the formerly neglected historic building to viable and sustainable use has been a long term dream for Mr Badham and co-owner Damian Llambias, who have owned and run Huntsham Court since 2012.

The kitchen at the venue has been designed, and will be run by award-winning chef Peter Mundy.

He brings over twenty years of expertise to Ginger Peanut, and, after being trained in Classic French and Modern British cuisines by acclaimed chef Paul Groom, he has run an award-winning catering business across Devon and Somerset for over a decade.

All of the food will be showcasing locally-sourced seasonal produce, with signature dishes including fillet of sea trout with a tarragon crust and rump of lamb served alongside root vegetable gratin.

Mr Mundy said: “Ginger Peanut is an exciting addition to the south west culinary scene and creates a new foody hub in this corner of Devon showcasing the food and fayre of the region.

There are also five en-suite bedrooms that enjoy shared access to a well-stocked pantry.

Each guest room is individually decorated in a contemporary style, sympathetic to the protected status of building, and appointed with modern necessities including ensuite shower rooms and complimentary WiFi.
